This is my daily chat with #RunBlogRun viewers and track fans on track & field!
This is Coffee with Larry for Saturday, August 17, 2024.
Coffee with Larry is sponsored by OMIUS, RunBlogRun’s cooling technology partner and the revolutionary new product used by elite race walkers and marathoners in Paris to keep them cool!
OMIUS (www.omius.io) developed a technology using cooling pods that keep you cool when you put water on the pods, which are placed on their visor, hat, or headband. You soak the pods every 30-45 minutes, and they keep you cool! It works, we tried it, and so did Sifan Hassan, Bashir Abdi, and Daniel Pintardo (Marathoners and race walkers in Paris).
Check out www.omius.io!
Our topics today:
1. Erriyon Knighton is the focus of the Athletics Integrity Unit once again, as they have appealed the decision in the US. This will be a mess.
2. Diamond League is back on August 22, the last few meets on Peacock are about to happen.
3. Jazmin Sawyers, European champion, LJ, opines on Grand Slam Track: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/…/jazmin-sawyers-michael…/
4. Noah Lyles, on podcast #NightCAP, wonderful interview and great responses from Noah! Noah has not signed up for #GrandSlamTrack, due to no TV contract, so far. Check out the podcast!
5. Cross country is just about here, hope those 550,000 boys and girls in high school cross country are doing some running this summer! I suspect about 1/2 are doing some running and 1/3 are actually getting some miles in. Truth is, that first three weeks is torture for many.
6. Special thanks to Kevin Barry, loyal reader and viewer, for some very constructive suggestions on our FB coverage.
See you Monday on #CoffeeWithLarry, #dunkindonutscoffee
